10.2 Customising Your Account
Synchronisation
You can configure background data use and synchronisation options for all the
applications on your phone. You can also configure what kind of data you synchronise
for each account.
For some accounts, synchronising is two-directional; changes that you make to the
information on your mobile phone are made to the copy of that information on the
web. Some accounts support only one-way synchronise; the information on your
mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1 Configuring General Sync Settings
On the Accounts & sync screen, do the following:
• Select or clear the Background data check box to control whether applications
and services can transmit data when you are not working with them directly (that is,
when they are running in the background).
If you clear this option, Gmail stops receiving new mail, Calendar stops
synchronising events, and so on, until you touch the Refresh menu item or send
an email.
• Select or clear the Auto-sync check box to control whether changes you make to
information on the phone or on the web are automatically synchronised with each
other.
For example, when this option is selected, changes that you make in Contacts
on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on the web.
10.2.2 Changing an Account’s synchronisation Settings
1. On the Accounts & sync screen, touch the account whose synchronisation
settings you want to change. The data and synchronisation screen opens,
displaying a list of the kinds of information the account can synchronise.
2. Selected items are configured to synchronise to your mobile phone.
3. Select or clear the check box of information you want to synchronise to the mobile
phone.
